Why is it bad optics? The whole Democrat party platform is defined by dividing people based on race and gender.

I am simply pointing out the statistic improbability of winning when the vast majority is only one race. You might have a statistical chance if the
one race your party was made up of was whites, but simply because whites make up over 60% of the population. Not that whites are better, there are
just more of them.

Here in Washington's 8th Congressional District most of the early political were either Democrats attacking each other and their one opponent vs the
GOP candidate discussing things he's done and solutions to the issues. The Democrats up here have really just given in to attack politics and
failurism.

They are showing Trump in Georgia and the crowd is chanting U.S.A and there sounds like there are 100x the people there than at Obama's
rally.

Naturally, the current President would draw more crowds especially during a midterm election. Though, I will give President Trump kudos on attending
more areas that are not already politically biased one way or the other. Obama seems to be simply talking to his own party voters and not reaching out
across the political lines. Hillary Clinton actually made the same mistake. Safe zones?

No. Not spite. Like a said, a leash. While I've made it quite clear on more than one ocassion that I find him repulsive at a personal level, I also
think that his policies (for lack of a better word) are not in the best interests of my county, state, or country. I think that a balance Congress
will help to stymie his "policies."

In any case, my state hasn't had a Republican representative to Congress in a long time (despite my prior votes) and this year will be no different.

And I don’t trust any predictions or polls either

I am making no predictions and am just waiting and seeing

The polls look good for Republicans. Every Republican polls at 5-10% less than reality. It's a combo of people on the right fearing the leftist
psychos ruining their lives for having the nerve to be a Republican and the pollsters intentionally skewing results by polling more leftists than
Republicans

Just imagine Tuesday night. I will be watching CNN. They will start to see the results coming in and they will be talking up the Democrats. Then an
hour or so in their voices will start to crack a bit as it starts to sink in that they are going to lose yet again. Then in a few more hours, as races
are getting called, the tears will start rolling down their cheeks.

After that, they will quickly flow through the stages of grief until they get to anger and then they will just be stuck at that stage. Confused and
angry. Just like they have been the last two years.

Though, I will give President Trump kudos on attending more areas that are not already politically biased one way or the other.

Can you provide examples?

One can compare current rally schedules to the 2016 election results by county. The Dems apparently prefer to schedule rallies in counties that voted
blue. Last week, Obama was in detroit Michigan, Wayne county. Today, he is in Gary Indiana, Lake County another blue county. Plus news says he is
going to rally in Chicago too.

I have done this recently...but certainly am not going to waste time going back and listing them all. I have provided a couple of examples above that
anyone can confirm for themselves and dig deeper.

It is obvious why Obama rallies are not going to be a big crowd draw. The demographics and past election results, already expect to go blue. There is
no reaching across the aisle occurring. This makes me sad. They seem oblivious to this fact and have not learned anything from the 2016 elections.
